Cash Plus

In the past decade, the number of check cashing outlets in the U.S. has more than tripled as more and more people have found it provides a level of convenience and service not available from traditional banks and finance companies. Cash Plus, founded in 1984, is one of the first companies to apply franchising techniques to the check cashing industry and has developed a "next generation" retail business system which is generating unusually high returns.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
